Pokemon: 20 years and the Catching Continues

The phenomenal Pokemon, the once pocket-sized franchise that has evolved and became one of the biggest in the world, is celebrating its 20th year! The rave for this cute fictional character has produced a lucrative franchise of video games, toys and trading cards, clothing and accessories, and a TV show!

True-blue Pokemon fans, watch out for the re-releases of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, as well as the launch of the reality game, Pokemon GO.

Pokemon was the brainchild of Satoshi Tajiri in 1995 and the franchise originally started as a pair of video games for Game Boy. Today, it is the 2nd most successful video game media franchise in the world.

The game’s marketing catch phrase is “Gotta catch em all!” On its 20th anniversary, the rave is greater than ever and there’s no doubt about it – the catching continues!
